At the turn of the year into 2018, our Acharyas Satyananda and Kriyanandamayi will lead a group of pilgrims of the Babaji’s Kriya Yoga community on a pilgrimage to Sri Lanka.

This is our first pilgrimage tour exclusively to Sri Lanka! This makes the tour interesting for those, who have already attended our pilgrimages to South India and the Himalayas, and for those who are especially interested to experience Sri Lanka.

Satyananda has been teaching Babaji’s Kriya Yoga in India annually for more than a decade now and led many pilgrimages to South India and Sri Lanka for Babaji’s Kriya Yoga. Kriyanandamayi resides and teaches in Sri Lanka and leads and takes care of our two ashrams in Sri Lanka.

Our itinerary covers beautiful destinations of spiritual, cultural and
natural value. Experience holy places of an ancient spiritual culture and enjoy the beautiful nature views of Sri Lanka. Practice daily Kriya Yoga under guidance, in sacred sites, at temples or shrines, in high mountain areas or right on the beach of the Indian Ocean, and in our two ashrams of Babaji’s Kriya Yoga.

We also visit our two Babaji’s Kriya Yoga ashrams in Sri Lanka. One is located in Dehiwala
south of Colombo, right at the beach of the West Coast, where regularly initiations into Babaji’s Kriya Yoga and satsangs are held and special religious holidays are celebrated by Acharya Kriyanandamayi and local kriyabans, our second ashram lies quite hidden right at a small forest river at the South Coast of Sri Lanka in Katirgama, which is a significant place of pilgrimage worshipped both by Hindus and Buddhists simultaneously, with one of the 7 important Muruga temples and a big Buddhist stupa.

Our round-trip through Sri Lanka will bring you from the capital Colombo in

Nuwara Eliya plateau into the southern province to Katirgama and along the West coast back to Colombo.

Right at the beginning of our tour, spend New Year’s Eve and Day with us,
in a quality Ayurveda resort hotel near the beach and in our Babaji Alayam ashram, with the opportunity for resting,
or some ayurvedic treatment, as well as guided dedicated Kriya Yoga sadhana during those two special days of the year.

Meditate in a traditional buddhist meditation retreat center located in mountain hills.
Visit several famous Buddhist heritage sites and temples, the huge ‘Tooth’ temple with a tooth relic of
the historical Buddha in the old colonial town of Kandy with traditional dancers, the ancient cave temple and the modern ‘Golden’ Temple in Dambulla right at the heart of Sri Lanka, and the UNESCO world cultural heritage
site of the outstanding ‘lion rock’ with its frescoes paintints of the ‘cloud ladies’ in Sigiriya.

Travel through nature reserves and national parks of the central mountain range and visit
elephants in a unique orphanage especially for elephants. In the high mountain area at Nuwara Eliya, visit one of the tea plantations for the world famous Sri Lankan tea, and the Sri Bhakta Hanuman Kovil temple, a holy site of ancient
India’s epic Ramayana. Attend a Hindu puja ceremony in the Muruga temple next to the Babaji mandir, where Siddha
Boganathar consecrated a powerful yantra in the inner temple sanctum. Practice and chant around the purifying sacred fire
of a mantra yagna with mantra initiation, and spend time in silence at our beautiful small Babaji ashram site in a sylvain environment on the banks of the small Manickaganga river.

At the West coast of Sri Lanka, in the small town of Hikkaduwa with a known postcard beach,
enjoy direct sea view, beach walking or bathing in the Indian Ocean, or make a short boat trip to its famous coral reefs.
Give your body a treat with ayurvedic massage and food at the beginning or the end of the trip.

Use the special opportunity of this pilgrimage for your New Year’s transition, as a
prelude to your own inner pilgrimage; the unique environment and time support you in deep inner self-transformation,
reorientation, release and renewal.

In a pilgrimage, we seek to come close to the Divine by visiting, worshipping and
meditating in sacred places which have been sanctified by the spiritual practices of Saints, Mystics and Yogis, and which consequently provide a terrestrial doorway to the infinite and absolute. In such places one can easily obtain a direct inner experience of the Divine Presence.

The character of the whole tour is imbibed with the vibration of such a traditional
pilgrimage. This tour is not designed to be a tourist trip, but rather to support you in your spiritual aspirations and
sadhana. It is scheduled to coincide with the most pleasant warm weather conditions in high peak season. The hotels
have been carefully selected for their Western style comfort and facilities. Ground transportation will be in a
comfortable air-conditioned bus.

There will be regular group practice of Kriya Yoga and a daily satsang sharing of
outer and inner experiences, guided by our Acharyas, to deepen your experience. Get enriched by also sharing with local
Kriyabans.

It will be an unforgettable transforming experience in the land where Hinduism and
Buddhism meet and join with Yoga and the Siddha tradition, which will inspire you and enable you to appreciate the
rich cultural tapestry, which has given birth to Babaji's Kriya Yoga.
